SoftQuad Announces Support For Interwoven TeamXML

SoftQuad and Interwoven Integrate XML Solutions to Accelerate Delivery of 
Enterprise Content

TORONTO, ON,  Monday, November 12, 2001  SoftQuad Software, Ltd. (OTC BB: 
SXML), an internationally recognized developer of XML-enabling 
technologies, and Interwoven, Inc. (NASDAQ: IWOV),  the leading provider of 
Content Infrastructure software, today announced a technology alliance. 
Under terms of the alliance, SoftQuad has developed an integration between 
XMetaL, its award-winning XML content authoring solution, and Interwoven's 
innovative XML Content Infrastructure system comprised of TeamXML and 
TeamSite 5.5.  Scheduled for release next month, the combined solution 
allows customers to realize the benefits of XML by streamlining the 
creation, management and delivery of content in different formats to a 
variety of media, including the Web.

"To gain the greatest benefit from an XML Content Infrastructure system, 
companies need to enable more employees to create XML content," said Kevin 
Cochrane, vice president of product management for Interwoven. "SoftQuad 
XMetaL provides a best-of-breed authoring solution that enables anyone 
within an organization to create XML content that can then be easily 
managed and re-purposed using TeamXML."

Interwoven's TeamXML is an open and scalable enterprise repository for 
storing and managing XML. It provides customers with a rich set of APIs 
that integrate with any enterprise application, and it is able to break up 
and re-purpose content, as well as store content natively as 
XML.  Interwoven TeamXML produces efficiencies at all levels within an 
organization, including: increased productivity of individual content 
contributors with easily re-purposed content; collaboration among multiple 
teams, enabling parallel development, element-level content control and 
reuse; and guaranteed content integrity, consistency and accuracy through 
the elimination of content redundancy.

"Value-driven companies are recognizing the efficiencies and cost savings 
that can be gained through XML content management," said Roberto 
Drassinower, CEO of SoftQuad. "TeamXML allows a rapid transition to an XML 
content infrastructure, accelerating the cost-effective delivery of 
business content to the Web and other channels."

SoftQuad XMetaL is an award-winning XML authoring solution that allows 
developers to quickly customize easy to use authoring interfaces that allow 
any person in an organization to create XML content. By allowing more users 
to create XML content directly, XMetaL streamlines the content creation 
process and eliminates the cost associated with converting documents from 
other formats.  XMetaL is easily integrated with content management systems 
and e-business applications.
